Roughly 340,000 travelers found themselves stuck after Anak Krakatau erupted for about 25 hours, sending a plume of ash that forced the closure of seven airports across Indonesia and halted flights to and from Jakarta for two days. The event invoked memories of the 1883 Krakatau catastrophe, noted by The Conversation, and prompted widespread alerts as airlines and authorities scrambled to accommodate stranded passengers.
According to AP News, flights have now resumed as ash concentrations dropped, reopening Jakarta’s main airport and gradually restoring routes. Observers expect flight schedules to normalize over the coming days as volcanic activity is closely tracked.
